About Flesh and the Devil

Directed by Clarence Brown, Flesh and the Devil leans on a strong ensemble — John Gilbert, Greta Garbo, Lars Hanson — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1926.
